I use ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor almost every day, and they're incredibly good at helping me think, write, and build.
But I've noticed something: As projects grow, my workspace becomes a collection of long chats, scattered documents, bookmarks, screenshots, and dozens of browser tabs.
When I notice a project dragging, my reflex is always to cut scope. Trim the feature down, ship the smaller version, get something out the door instead of polishing the grand plan forever.
And usually that's the right call. Most of the time I was building more than the problem actually needed, and cutting it loose feels great.
Every business I run generates something on a schedule, a weekly summary, a sales recap, an ops checklist nobody asked for but someone still sends. In the beginning I read every line. Now I skim the subject and archive it without opening, because nothing has looked different in months.
The part that bothers me is I cannot actually remember the last time I checked whether that assumption was still true. Curious whether you have one of these too, the report that used to matter and now mostly proves itself irrelevant just by existing, and whether you have ever caught something late because you had already stopped looking closely.
Your killer app's biggest competitor is a new browser tab We're seeing a TON of new platforms and systems that offer incredible functionality, I'm not here to dismiss that in any way.. BUT (you could feel that 'but' coming, right?)... Injecting AI into the places that people are already working makes waaay more sense when possible. My main discipline is marketing - I've spent 20 years jumping between tools every other month, it's exhausting but there's always a core group of tools that survive and it tends to be communication tools. Whether it's simple like Slack or WhatsApp, or Project Management like Jira, Monday etc. this is where the teams do their work. I have an oversimplified ask: If you're making a cool tool for a business try and find a way to bring it into their existing workspaces. That way you don't have to deal with as much behavioral change/resistance of logging into a new tab each time (I know, I know.. I'd love to change the world with a killer app too). As useful as your tool is; the accessibility/ease-of-access will always be somewhat of a hurdle and it's something to keep in mind.
Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.
How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)
A few weeks ago, I started to feel like I had hit a plateau on social media, especially with my Substack newsletter. I couldn t seem to get past a certain number of subscribers (stagnation).
In similar situations, I ve noticed that people often either: run a giveaway pay for ads
